| Additional Information: | Multi-gable roofed two-story house with bargeboards, cornice returns, stone lintels and open porch with Tuscan columns. Pedimented gable ends with bracketed pent roof over pilaster trimmed paired windows; west gable roof with cornice returns over three-sided two-story bay with bracket ornaments; straight, flat stone window lintels and stone sills; full-length open front porch with Tuscan columns; rear frame enclosed porch. The Ole Wold House is a two-and-one-half-story, front gable residence with Queen Anne influences, built c.1895. The walls are clad in brick veneer, resting on a rough ashlar foundation. Asphalt shingles cover the gable roof, and a central brick chimney extends from the ridgeline. Gable ends feature decorative fish-scale shingles and wide, unadorned vergeboards. A hip roof porch with Tuscan columns and turned balustrade spans the front (south) facade, sheltering an off-center entrance flanked by a picture window with a transom. A projecting cross gable on the west (side) elevation has cutaway corners with decorative brackets and pendants. An enclosed, one-story, hip roof porch extends from the rear (north) elevation. Windows are one-over-one replacement sash with flat stone sills and lintels. Each gable end contains paired windows with bracketed headers. Although the 1891 city directory lists his occupation as "teamster," Wold established himself as a general masonry contractor and builder shortly thereafter and operated his business from his home on Jackson Street by 1893.33 Although it displays modest Queen Anne details, the property is an example of a vernacular form and has been altered with an enclosed rear porch and replacement windows. 2017 UPDATE - THIS BUILDING LOOKS SUBSTANTIALLY LIKE IT DID WHEN LAST SURVEYED IN 2015. |
